About me and my passion for cars

I get my passion from my grandfather and my father. My grandfather was a mechanic, my father was a mechanic-turned- engineer and I wish I had a fraction of mechanical skills that either had! My father built his first car from the ground-up at the age of fifteen. We still have that car. My son likes to sit in the garage with Grampa and watch him work his magic.

My first car

'79 Ford Courier - my friends called it the "brown turd" but it was my sweet hooptie!

Car I wish I still had

'93 Z28 - My mom cried when I bought this car, she thought I would surely die in it. My father wished he was still racing after driving the car once.

My dream car

34 Ford flathead coupe (my dad's)
The coolest car I have ever seen. Though she is still in my dad's garage being restored, I would choose her over all other cars!
